Apple Ling's List: Substance Abuse/Dependence

*Awesomeness!! ~~omgsqueeeeee!! ♥♥♥♥♥
Harry works with the Department of Misuse of Magic (sort of like a Narcotics Agent), Draco brews illegal (and addictive) potions. Basically Harry is out to arrest the gang of drug (addictive potion) dealers Draco brews for and so Draco is tasked with the duty to keep Harry occupied and distracted from his job. But right from the start, it was never about deceiving Harry but more on the fact that Draco finds himself genuinely attracted to Harry. Featuring H/D bickering at each other like an old married couple, buying each other coffee and sending the coffee to the recipient through a delivery service, dinner dates, Harry teaching Draco how to drive, Draco teaching Harry how to ski, sexytimes and a little bit of angst... but there's a happy ending :D

Summary: In which Draco's life is shady, Harry is out to save the world from itself, and revenge turns sour.

*EPIC!! *so much love* ♥♥♥♥♥
Auror!Harry, criminal!Draco.... but still, they love each other.

Summary: At the end of the day, Harry will do whatever it takes to keep Draco. No matter what he's done.

*ANGSTY WAR!FIC, BUT IT HURTS SO GOOD *sniffles* ♥♥♥♥♥♥
A different take on the 'Sectumsempra bathroom scene' in HBP - except, it didn't happen. Harry Summoned Draco's wand out of his hand instead of casting 'Sectumsempra' - so instead of saving Draco from Fiendfyre, Harry saved Draco that day in Moaning Myrtle's bathroom. Harry and Draco stuck in Grimmauld Place (alone - because Kreacher and the screaming bitch of a portrait doesn't count) for their protection (locked in by wards). Faking Draco's death, severe (gore-y, bloody, torture-filled) nightmares, trauma and so much fear and angst and crying... and comfort sex (post-nightmare). Alcoholic!Depressed!Broken!Draco. Noble!Protective!Smitten!Harry. Lots of sexy angsty desperate!sex with Harry trying and failing to be noble (he didn't want to take advantage of a depressed!broken!Draco) - omg the blowjob scene in the drawing room! Attempted suicide, more angst but with happy Harry/Draco ending.

Summary: If you had only died when you were meant to, I'd have grown up in a wizarding world already ruled by the Dark Lord. I wouldn't be screaming at you in a sixth floor bathroom. I wouldn't be raising my wand, Crucio on my lips.

*Drama, drama, DRAMAAAAA!!
Harry/Draco and Lucius/Narcissa as the main pairings. Past Ron/Hermione and George/Hermione as a side pairing. Major character death (that happened before the story timeline - not Harry or Draco, not Lucius or Narcissa either). Cute baby Teddy Lupin. Grieving!Andromeda. Healer!Hermione. Alcoholics!Harry and Draco. Basically, Narcissa is sick and dying. The Malfoys are desperate to save her but the only person who can save her, refuses to do. Plus, St Mungos refuse to treat anyone affiliated with Death Eaters. Harry and Draco struggles with living and the guilt of surviving through the war while others died. They drown their problems with alcohol but in the end, their friendship (and love) saved each other from self destruction. Draco needs to tell his parents the truth about his sexuality and his relationship with Harry but isn't sure if Lucius will still love him after that. I have a bit of a problem how fast everyone (except Lucius and Narcissa because they've been married for years after all) jump from comfort friends-with-benefits sex to "I love you so much, I'd die without you", but other than that it's ok :) Warning for one scene in which one of the main protagonist tried to slash their arm open out of grief (and because they're too drunk to think straight) - near fatal but they didn't die.

Summary: A year after the war, wounds remain fresh. Survivors struggle just to keep surviving. They're plagued with guilt, illness, and new prejudices. Harry always thought his life would get easier after the demise of Voldemort, but he was wrong.

*SWEET, DELICIOUS FLANGST!! ♥♥♥♥♥
Auror!Harry. Basically Harry's investigating an illegal potion smuggling ring and decides to spend sometime in a pub. Draco's in that pub too and decides to join Harry at his table. They talk, play a little baiting game through snarkery and witty banter, got drunk, engage in sexy times (with Harry still dressed - partially clothed sex!), then comes the angst but it all ends happily... and with an orange stuffed hippogriff toy. Oh, and Draco has a magical Trace on his magic to prevent him from doing Bad Things.

Summary: Sometimes we want to be saved; sometimes we need to grow up.

*ZOMG STEAMPUNK DRARRY!!! *SQUEE* ♥♥♥♥♥
Post-Hogwarts AU/AR-ish. Veela!Genius!Draco. Starts with H/D in a magical university as students, roommates, best friends and ex-lovers (then gradually becoming more as lovers as the story progresses). Time-travel back to ages ago - steampunk feel. Lots of cute H/D banter, snarkery, humour and the boys being all touchy-feely with each other... but as slightly-more-than-friends-but-not-lovers. Rooming together. Getting drunk together. Working for Clockmaker!Snape together in what appears to be Snape's (clock) shop: Draco as Snape's apprentice of sorts and helps with making watches while Snape makes Harry do all sorts of house-elf-ish jobs. Smart!Cunning!Manipulative!Draco who is the (super pretty) hero in this story, and this time Harry's mostly the 'sidekick' slash overprotective ex-boyfriend. Cool steampunk/time travel inspired creatures: Hounds of Tindalos. Special time-travelling pocket watches. References to Draco being vulnerable only to Harry because he is in love with Harry (plus being a Veela and all that). Oh, and Harry's cat. #No penetrative sex (but there are lots of kissy moments and groping sessions :D)

Summary: When an antique pocketwatch sends Harry and Draco back in time, they must work together if they've any hope of returning home.

*I HAVE NO WORDS FOR HOW AWESOME THIS IS!! TROUBLE FORMING REMOTELY COHERENT THOUGHTS ABOUT THIS EVEN! TOO BUSY FLAILING! ♥♥♥♥♥
Pairing(s): Harry/Draco, featuring brief Draco/OC and brief Harry/Ginny at the start, Ron/Hermione, Ginny/Neville, & Dean/Luna

*Draco works in a muggle coffee shop, Harry's still clueless about what he wants to do in life. A bit of Harry/Ginny at the beginning (this means het sex scenes). Brief Draco/OMC scene because Draco has a boyfriend (and other flings) before Harry. Harry kept accidentally bumping into Draco in public places, mostly pubs and the coffee shop where Draco worked. Harry/Draco getting drunk together (Draco is a talkative drunk and has the tendency to overshare his life story when he's drunk. Harry just gets very loud :D). Harry and his brief sexuality crisis... not really a crisis just, he was rather oblivious for so long and then suddenly it's like a light bulb's been lit in his head. Draco and his muggle friends and obsession with muggle things and just generally a very quirky (cute and mad and so cute!) person. Draco's pretty much full of insecurities and guilt complexes... and a myriad of other issues while Harry's so aimless and insecure about being loved. Cute Harry/Draco bonding moments: getting drunk together, meeting up at the coffee shop, Draco snuggling into Harry's jacket while Harry's still wearing it! Harry pining and pining for Draco. Supportive Ron. Happy ending!

Summary: Harry thinks "Why is Malfoy working in a coffee shop in muggle London?" is a much simpler question than, "Are you going to accept that auror offer and, if you don't, what will you do?"

*SWEET DELICIOUS FLANGSTY CHRISTMAS!FIC ♥♥♥♥♥
The beginning part of this fic takes place in Azkaban and it breaks your heart. Basically a story of sweet forgiveness, friendship and love... with Harry saving Draco from being made an example by a revengeful post-war world but ending with Draco saving him. Brief mention of Harry/OMC and Draco/Mr Perfect. Harry and Draco as flatmates. Drunk on Christmas. Harry being miserable and Draco comforting him. Pining, angst but with happy fluffy ending.

Summary: As a child, Draco unconditionally loved Christmas. As an adult, it wasn't that simple.

*OMG THIS IS MADE OF AWESOME!!!! ♥♥♥♥♥
Dominant for hire!Draco. Auror!Harry (with a HUGE kink for being dominated). Brief mention of past Draco/Astoria and Draco/clients. Author's warnings include: Warning(s): hurt/comfort, explicit hardcore sex, PTSD, excessive use of the word "cunt"; drug use; RACK D/s; consensual violence, humiliation, voyeurism; mild BDSM; toy/prop use; orgasm denial; sub drop/afterfluff; mildly implied past/off-stage alcoholism and non-con/abuse; happy ending.
Basically Harry hires dom!Draco for hawt, kinky, super rough RACK d/s sex. They push each other's buttons, get mad, get horny, Draco gets too rough/violent with Harry (sometimes) because Harry has always had a knack for getting under his skin. Harry suspects there is more to Draco and his unhealthy habit of being a dominatrix sort of whore even though he doesn't need the money. So Harry pushes. They fight, have more violent sex, fight, reluctantly agrees to give their 'relationship' a try (without using labels or going public with it). This Draco has ton loads of issues and insecurities (possibly due to past abuse... hints of non-con). Best friend!Pansy (and Blaise and Greg Goyle). Little baby Scorpius and his adorable attachment to Harry. Draco's fast, really fast cars (THE HONEY BADGER!!!). Draco's leather collar on Harry. Harry's tattoo. Draco drinking too much and dabbling in drugs. Super protective!Harry. #Mostly Top!Dom!Draco with tiny bits of bottom!Draco.... somewhere.

Summary: "Love is like a Rubix Cube: there are countless wrong twists and turns, but once you get it right, it's perfect no matter how you look at it." Sixty-thousand words of pornographic discourse between two boys-turned-men that still haven't learned how to communicate like normal people - with words. Guest appearances by Pansy Parkinson, Neville Longbottom, Hermione Granger, Blaise Zabini, Teddy Lupin, Gregory Goyle, the Weird Sisters, ex-wives, several Weasleys, a Boggart, and a Honey Badger.

*Career Choices: Starring Tooth Fairy!Draco, with Toothache!Harry. Absolutely adorable! ♥♥♥ Drugged!Giggly!Toothache!Harry with a Glittery!Winged!Draco (Veela) in a loincloth LOL! Also featuring Harry's sexy bumcheeks, low-riding sheets and Draco's naughty Veela libido... and oohh, Tooth Fairy Headquarters! Lockhart! Suprise Head Fairy (of the Tooth Fairy Headquaters) Plus, delicious sexy mansmex!

Summary: Harry never had a visit from the Tooth Fairy when he was a boy, but now that he's had his wisdom teeth pulled, he's tempted to try again. He knows it's silly. Obviously it is. Ridiculous, really. But then, sometimes it feels nice to believe in a little magic.

With some Luna scenes too!! ♥♥♥

Summary: Harry Potter walks into a bar.

SAD FIC IS SO SAD *heartbreaks*. I normally tend to avoid sad fics like the plague but this one's just irresistible... and all the tears shed were so worth it *sniffles*

Summary: I was looking for an excuse to leave the place when I spotted them. Six small glass vials were proudly displayed behind the counter. The liquid inside was cobalt blue. I had seen one of these in Draco Malfoy's hand eighteen months ago.

*VERY ENJOYABLE!! AND I THINK I'M IN LOVE WITH THIS QUIRKY!DRACO :D
Auror!Harry, Photographer slash traveler!Draco. Cute side pairing: Ron/Hermione, Seamus/OMC. Past Harry/Ginny and Draco/OMC. Cute and interesting OCs, especially Harry's Auror partner: Nathaniel. References to past domestic abuse, violence, partner rape (Draco). A mostly muggle-ish!Draco in high school heartthrob-esque clothes (thin t-shirt, skinny jeans and a jacket) and always carrying around a muggle camera. Draco's prison tattoo and earring. Draco bakes cakes. Draco's issues with trust and lack of self-confidence (due to past abuse). Draco also has a bit of an eating problem because he skips way too many meals. Harry's sexuality crisis and pining over Draco. Harry nicknaming Draco as "Squirrel" despite Draco's protests. Harry's chain-smoking habits. Harry's pet dog. Cute little Teddy. Protective!Ginny (of Harry). #Mostly it was heavily implied that Draco normally bottoms but there are only two (penetrative) sex scenes in this fic. Draco bottoms in one and Harry bottoms in another (mild bottom!Harry scene).

Summary: Twenty year-old Harry finds himself in a good job with a new-found smoking habit, a Labrador that likes breakfast and a work friend with an unsavoury fascination with women. Harry's friends worry about his emotional stability and on times - sexuality. Enter Draco Malfoy in Muggle clothes with his camera and Harry's life is thrown into disarray. What HAS his old nemesis been up to?

*Writing style is very soap opera-esque - especially the conversations - but it was interesting nonetheless. 8th year. Implied past Draco/Pansy and Top!Draco/Bottom!Blaise (one-sided crush because Blaise pines while Draco loves another). Brief Harry/Blaise. Some bits of Harry/Ginny. Mentally ill Narcissa. Draco has a drinking problem (he brews his own alcohol, nicknamed Draco Juice). Draco shares his "Draco Juice" with Harry (lightweight!Harry) at the Astronomy Tower. Harry's nightmares.

Summary: "When the night is darkest, it is then that the stars shine the brightest. You just have to learn how to see them." Harry has survivor's guilt after the Battle. Will his new found love for Draco help it, or will Draco's dark secret merely make it worse?

*Auror!Harry, Broken!Playboy!Draco. Draco+Hermione = best friends. Draco's penchant for muggle things and dressing up like a drunk, cheap, slutty version of a emo rock star - think Billy Idol (punkish!Draco with ever-changing hairstyles and highlights and piercings). Chain smoker!Always drunk and horny!Slutty!Draco. Draco has issues - lots of them - which drives him to do everything and anything to degrade himself. Draco and his super car and Charlie Weasley's fascination with said super car. Harry and his sexuality crisis and obsession with all things Draco. Brief Draco/OMC/OMC threesome (bottom!Draco). Kink: Dirty talk, humiliation, fingerfucking... #99% bottom!Draco (graphic and hot!!) but with one very lengthy, very graphic, very hot bottom!Harry scene somewhere in the middle.

Summary: Draco's a hot mess. Harry's lovin' it (hell yes).

*SO VERY KEWT!! ♥♥♥!!
Drunk!Harry (in flashbacks) and a Honey-flavored!Draco. Hermione and Ginny organizing a kissing booth for Harry to find his kissy!honey-flavored!partner. Supportive!Ron. Frolicking in the Quidditch Pitch.

Summary: From the prompt: Harry always enjoyed the taste of the people he kisses but he has never felt the spark the others describe. After the war there is a party at Hogwarts and he gets drunk, pushes someone he finds pretty against a wall and voila! An electrical current. Next morning he can't remember who that person is, but MUST find him or her again.

*Harry has nightmares, plus a scary psychotic breakdown that left him catatonic. Draco helps. Ron/Hermione are supportive. Overdosed on a potion. Cute hurt/comfort fic! #Just kissing, nothing else

Summary:When Harry appears to have gone mad, after the final Battle at Hogwarts, it's up to an unexpected ally to save him and resolve the root of the problem.

*Independently rich slash depressed alcoholic!Harry. Draco works in the ministry. A "Draco saves Harry" fic wherein Draco's the caregiver/the one who gives comfort and Harry is basically fucked up inside. Life debts and disturbing dreams. Harry takes Draco out drinking. Brief scene of drunk!Harry/Draco/OFC threesome. Brief sexuality crisis. Draco secretly pines away. H/D sharing a bed and cute comfort cuddles the next morning. Angst, hurt/comfort, UST, sexy boysmex and happy ending.
No summary.

Fic excerpt: Draco's been awake all night, pacing up and down in his living room, wondering what he should do. The answer is, of course, obvious. He has to repay the debt somehow. And now he's here, outside Potter's flat.

*ANGSTY BUT IT'S THE GOOD KIND OF PAIN! LOVES!!
Auror!Harry. Established relationship but oh boy, do they have issues... lots of them. Draco can't stand being the Death Eater to Harry's Savior of the Wizarding World, plus he hates Harry's job. Harry can't stand Draco's friends and his partyboy habits (Draco may or may not have a drinking problem), plus there's that whole Death Eater thing. Friends who don't approve of their relationship... angst... but with happy ending! #Bottom!Draco in the graphic scenes but implied switching (which probably happened behind scenes
